LIST lit'Dhl ROUSE. A Court of Proprietors of the East,lndia Company 'Was held yesterday, when the different-Accouuts or dered by the bye-laws to be submitted annually.to the 'Court,- were laid oti the table. Mr. Itoce wished 'robe informed if these accounts 'would enable the Prepriewrs to fortn any thiog like corketa judgment of the ge n eral state of the Cons_ patty's Adieus. Heedleided to the practice of sub mitting to the Court all esuch . Papers is ‘vere laid be fore the Haase: of Ceineoone when the India Budget was, in the use of being brought forward, and, as it. was underetOod that there was to be no Budget this year, it was the more necessary that the Proprietors "should be possessed of such documents as would enable them to form some idea of the aatial situatiou , of their arrairi. The CHAIRMAN admitted that the Papers now laid on the table did not :Sinai any, eatisfaelory view of the state of the general affairs of the Cempany. A ,Committee of the Reuse of Commens had been ap pointed to examine into this subject, ,and to report the result: The accounts necessary .to enable this Cominiqee to loon ejudgtuent cu the subjed were not yet ready to be laid before them. Since the slit:edit of . the last Court of Proprietors ,LIO,aCC9I.IOtS cettneoed with the Atfitirs of the Company had been laid before the House of Commons; of course, there were none to submit to the consideration of the Conrt of Proprietors. Mr. Boer( repeated his wish, that every docu ment necessary to enable the Proprietors to form a judgment as to the aetual state of the Company's Affiirs, should be laid before them 0 speedily, as puhsible. Mr. GBANr, the Deputy Chairman, thought the . respectable Proprietor who had just sat down did not give stirticient credit to their 14 xceutive Body, in thus pressing a subject on which there could be nb reason to doubt any want of attention on their part. It Was . not to .he supposed that the 'Quoit of Dire: tors submit evidence to Perhament to enable: it and the public to judge of the state of the Company's Affairs, and would withehold similar evidence'frorn theiremn CwnSt humus. Mr. RANDLE JACESON was Of - OpiDitlll, that the anxiety of his brother Proprietor was by no means surprising. lie was convinced that respectable Grin ifeiuin meant nothing inconsistent with the fonts of proceeding of the Court, or derogatbry from that feeling' of confidence which it was natural for the Court te place in its Executive Body. When the cousts were before the Proprietors, a Court would, of course, be sumneined to consider of them, and then it would be ie the power of the worthy Proprietor to trove such resolution upon them as he might deem proper, or, if he shout be of opinion that the icenteits produced were not sufficient to enable the Court to form a judgment, he could move for such additional Papers as he might think necessary. lie confessed, that he himself felt particularly anxious as to the pre , sent situation of the Company, and he knew that his eras not a solitary feeling, but ono in which many of the. Proprietors, with wheal he had conversed, per ticipatedi Those, who recolle6ted the Conunittee, similar to that now sitting, which had. the Com pany's Affairs under' consideration in t 802. must neeeimarily feel anxious that the progress of the pre .sent Committee should bewatelied. Softie itn or alteration - might be in agitation, and if so, it . was necessaiy to see that the guarantee of the pri vileges. of the Cowpony should -o hand in hand with Guarantee was a slow-paced companion to in novatiou where they did not start together. He did not di,tiust the great body of the present Ministry— he-believed many: of them to. teeee honest men as ever raged a • nation, s Goverunc6ts, however,. Would be Geverinnents, and must Oen; in' some• measure,-yield to the prejudices of the people. There ..yes ate subject: en e hie!, the public were so corn prejudiced, or so radicelly,, mistaken., as with ; I rOpett to LGHspanv. It ,was C4:flay . that the public least Lao ,vu the Country, and toe the Company ite:f, alai) lee(' the Compa vy'e political concerns..

There was another serieua charge against eta Company, wliiili he wished 'to set to. rights in the public estimatibu. It was generally. supposed that the Convany was indebted to GOAWltnit4llt to the extent ut tire millions arida half., arising &bp the agreement to pay :5°0,004 annually. This Mini, he WiS:ied it to be understood, was merely conditional, and to be demandable wily in the, mew of the situ ation of Me Company warrauting the paymene-e.a situation in which they,had not beep .since the first year after the apeetikent was made. They had be t e) at war ever since, eted that being the case, the very terms of the •Aect put it otst of .their power to make any. payment to Goectument. It Was impossible to go about through this metre . pas, and nut hear the East India Company talked of, as defaulters to the Qiuntry, while that Country vas net merely a ,partner, but the ittiug. passer in the canceru. The Learned Gentle lan (Mr. Jackson) assumed-credit to hituseiffur the part he had titled in regard to this .5.00,0001.

He hoped, however, it Was no part of the wish of that Committee to trench'on the pri- . vileges of the Company as they now existed. H e was a Member of that ,CounnittFe,, and lie could. discover 'no such dispusition to prevail in' it. So far from blaming the Honourable Proprietor for his • anxiety on account of the Company, he thought Aim entitled to thanks Wins attention. He trusted the Proprietors were convinced that the Direelors would not willingly sUrcender the privileges of their Con stituents; but that they would be sis Aired, that the jealousy of their Executive Body would not sleep if any alteration 'or innovation on th e ir riglits Was at , tempted. He agreed entirely with the Learned Gen tleman in expressing . his sorrow at the foolish preju dizes which existed out of doors against the Com— pany, and its deploring the lainentable ignorance of the Oblic as to the nature of thek establishment. He was satisfied, however, notwithstanding these prejudices, that the ,company would not be sacri, 4(4 to - them without a hearing. He also agreed with the Learned Proprietor, that nothing could be plainerto any per Son who could react than this, that the event in which the .5 cio,oool. w as t o b e pa id by the Company had never occurred, eicept jet the first 'year after •the Aa passed. With' this explana tion he hoped the Court would he satisfiech Adjourned. COURT OF CHANCERY, MARen 3,. 'ma HON. T. 'COVENTRY V. EMEDEbT., This was a motion on the part of the Plaintift-that a Receiver of the rents and profits of his estates be appointed ; and that he be allowed 8001. per annum out of the same till his cause with the Defendant had been fatly heard. It appeared the Defendant had some time back filed a bill to restrain the Plaintiff from re ceiving the tents and profits of his own estates, upon the ground of his having executed a deed of conveyance of such rents and profits to the De fendant, upon condition of his receivllng 8001. a year. To this bill the . Plaintiff answered,that the deed had .been obtained by fraud, inasmuch as the De fondant had represented the estates considerably less produaive.than they really were. The Plaintiff then filed a cross bill, to which the Defendant had nor put in his answer, and the motion of to-day was in effet.l to restrain him from receiving the rents and profits. Much was said as to the chara6ter of .Mr. Embden, who had. introduced himself to Mr. Coventry as-one well calculated to equalize his income, and place the same upon a systematic foundation." But tltb chara6ter of the indivldu4l hack lityle to <ln with the muestion at issue, as the Plaintiff had, in point of faa i executed the deed of conveyance to the De lendant.. A 'Wiltshire Gentleman has started on a pedestrian excursion iu thatcounny,which if he rrforins within the given . tima, Will ootstrip all pedestrians. His name is Paclgers; and his undertaking is to go 50 m.les a day for eight daj.s. He ktarted on Tuesday morning, at about four miles from Ba , ingstoke, to go to a spot near Warminster. The undertaking is tor a bet of i su guineas. The CHANCIiLLOR observed, that, when the first application was made to hint, seeing that the De fendant had a tide by conveyance - to am whole an- I 'nual produce of the, Attintiirs estates, on condition of his paying to Mr. C. the hom of SOW. per an num, and understanding the Plaintiff to have kept I the deed in his possession, with an , apparent in ic,'Olion to rescind the obligation he had con ,c troaed, he did think it a. lit. case, while that deed was witlthdd,, to restrain ,Mr. 'C. from re• ceiving the rents and profits alluded to. A, cross bill had, however, been tiled ; am! though the De tendant had a(ted suspiciously in .not putting in his answer, yet the Court could not..a6t, upon suspicion only, and the parties must be heayd on both sides before we could finally decide. He thOUght,lhert.t fore, without saving what was to be ultimately done with the deed, that the tenants, for the present, should be ordered to pay their rents.nato Court, and that Mr. Coventry should receive his 8001. from them. It would then be open to the parties to make any application they thought • proper as to a permanent receiver; but, in the mean time, the Deed ,of Conveyance must be placed und e r t h e con trout and management of the Court.
